answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>In May 2011, the then Home Secretary commissioned the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to undertake an investigation into the disappearance of Madeline McCann. As this was a request from Government and not within the MPS’s normal duties, the Home Office agreed to fund the investigation though the Police Special Grant. Funding is approved annually, in line with normal Special Grant processes. The length of the investigation is an operational decision for MPS. The Home Office receives progress updates from the operational team.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 24/10/2022 14:30:52 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>We are continuing the process to grant Indefinite Leave to Remain to all eligible individuals who arrived during the evacuation: officials have already registered over 13,000 (and counting) applications for resettlement from Afghans in the UK, with biometric residence permits being issued accordingly. In the meantime, applicants remain eligible to work and access services under their continuing leave.</p><p>At 12 August 2022, we have granted Indefinite Leave to Remain to 11,303 individuals across the ARAP and ACRS, since they opened in April 2021 and January 2022, respectively. We are unable, at this time, to provide a breakdown of whether a grant of leave was made under the ARAP or the ACRS Pathway 1. Work is underway to assure information relating to all the individuals relocated under the ARAP and ACRS on case working systems.</p><p>The ACRS will provide up to 20,000 women, children and others at risk, with a safe and legal route to resettle in the UK. Once this work concludes, statistics on both schemes - including the number of people resettled under each - will be included in future editions of the Immigration Statistics. <br> <br> More information on the number of grants of Indefinite Leave to Remain issued to Afghans resettling under the ARAP or ACRS can be viewed at gov.uk.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 24/10/2022 11:55:42 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom
